ACE Auto Dismantlers, and with it the
glorious ACE International Speedway, has been closed down forever. BUT
ONLY IN PHYSICAL FORM! the frantic energy and magical chemistry that
powered the spirit of the Junkyard LIVES ON! A documentary is in the
works about ACE and Bill, and we hope you will support the production
of "Ace In The Hole" -
aceintheholefilm.com Join us to celebrate this landmark, and Bill The
Junk-man himself. Bill empowered countless artists by sourcing them "junk" from
his collection, and he provided place for an unreal number of events,
including The Power Tool Drag Races. Come join the masses
and celebrate Ace, Billy, Power Tool Drag Races, and help us raise funds
to bring "Ace In The Hole" to it's glorious completion!!

Ace Auto/International Speedway is soon to be just a memory. After
fighting the evil landlady off, and holding the line for well over a
year, she finally won on a technicality. After surviving 25 years of
crushing cars, disemboweling computers, racing power tools, thrashing,
bashing, moshing, paying the rent on time (25 years = nearly 1 Million
dollars paid in rent), collecting junk, giving junk away,
cross-dressing, jet engine revving, bicycle stunts, stupid pet tricks,
bad beer, good whiskey, bad jokes, worse pranks, and all the other
marvelous activities that we've grown to expect while hanging with the
Junkman, Ace is to be no more.

Ace Auto is Dead! Long Live Ace!

We will celebrate this most important man and place exclusively with
artists who have graced ACE:

Well, it looks like the end of Ace junkyard as we know it. Our landlady is
not going to renew our lease (and no amount of consciousness-raising,
hippie-poi-ball-swinging or fire-oriented fundraisers is going to help,
sadly).

Things are looking pretty damm bleak right now.

It been 25 years
and the last 15 after me and most of you found each other have been
especially fabulous. While many think I am the generous one, in fact, quite
the opposite is true. I given you junk, you have taken this junk and turned
it into amazing art, exciting happenings and and ton of fun and good
memories.

Thanks to all of you, my life has become much richer.

This a
richness no amount of money could ever buy, because of all of you and what
you create from the junk I give away.

Here my heart, mind and soul is
filled with wealth from the friends I have found, and the parties and
events here.

This past Saturday, night someone said to me “For every door that closes,
another one opens.” So let’s hope our next adventure is even more
memorable, after all, it’s just the place that’s closing, you and me all
still here.

One more thing: over the years, you guys have helped me get rid
of so much junk, now I need to ask one last favor of all of you. I’d like
you to send me pictures, video, stories, etc about this place. Show and
tell me about the art or project that we helped you with. It been a hell of
ride, thanks to all of you for the love and aloha you have given me.
